Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
Updated this week

CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) refers to sensitive information that requires protection but is not classified. If Swif handles CUI, it may need to meet FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) requirements, which apply to any CSPs (Cloud Service Providers) that handle federal data.

Swif would not be used to handle or process Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), similar to ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) rules. Swif can still be used, but CUI must remain outside the platform's scope. Essentially, Swif is safe to use for general device management and compliance, but for organizations dealing with CUI, they should not use Swif for CUI-related processes to avoid compliance issues.

Footnotes:

The CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a framework created by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that contractors and organizations handling federal information have appropriate cybersecurity practices in place. It assesses companies across five maturity levels, each with increasing levels of cybersecurity requirements, to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CMMC is mandatory for defense contractors and helps ensure the security of sensitive data within the defense supply chain.
